Raymond Pettibon (b. 1957)

"I work with baseball and surfing partly because of language, but it’s also visual...they have a very fluid nature. You can cut through the fluidity and movement without resorting to cartoony or gimmicky lines...And my surfers are all on longboards with baggies because it’s that surf-myth epic of big wave riding. You can’t hang ten on a 40-foot wave." -- Raymond Pettibon
